/1.webp "World's Finest: Teen Titans #1")
Spinning out of the pages of the runaway hit Batman/Superman: World’s Finest comes a modern retelling of the early adventures of the original Teen Titans! Led by Robin, the Boy Wonder, a new super-team has burst onto the scene-meet the Teen Titans, DC’s grooviest group filled with super-teens with super-problems. When they’re not fighting alongside their Justice League mentors, they’re managing their image and cultivating the rabid fan base that helps them save the world…as, all the while, a danger from the shadows intends to tear these friends apart before they ever reach the big time. Before they were the Titans of the DCU, they were the Teen Titans, and you won’t want to miss this fresh take on their origins from the legendary talents of Mark Waid and Emanuela Lupacchino!
I agree with most that the best books in DC right now are the world finest series. This one doesn't deviate from that. An amazing start, and it feels interesting. Like a mix of modern age and silver age.
I must admit the teen titans with young Robin as the leader just forming and having social media throws me a bit as I love the silver and bronze age stuff, but this take also works really well thanks to the great writing of Waid.
The social media and modern age of it is going to take some getting use to for me, but honestly this issue put a big smile on my face, and made me think of the best comics has to offer from previous eras. Very few books can get close to that (barring the other World's Finest, of course).
